Buena Vista University

17 students participate in BVU's Blue Steel pep band for the 2020-21 academic year. Blue Steel performs at home athletics events in Siebens Fieldhouse, aiming to pump up the players and the crowd with sets that range from, "All About That Bass" to "Final Countdown." The bulk of fall and winter sports seasons across the league were postponed this academic year due to COVID-19, which meant the pep band's season was also put on hold. As men's and women's basketball, along with other sports, return to play this spring, keeping the students and the community safe remains a top priority. Blue Steel members don masks and keep physically distanced as they play this season.
